When wisdom teeth begin to emerge, they can often cause pain, crowding and even infection. At SoJo Dental, Dr. Brian Call and Dr. Conner Ogden offer professional wisdom teeth removal in South Jordan, Utah. With years of experience and a patient first approach, we make the procedure as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. For many patients, these teeth do not have enough room to grow properly, which can lead to issues such as impaction, inflammation and damage to surrounding teeth. Removing them early can prevent future complications and preserve long-term oral health.
Understanding the Procedure
Wisdom teeth removal is a common outpatient surgery performed with the goal of preventing or resolving dental issues. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Evaluation and Planning: Your visit begins with an oral examination and imaging to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and plan the extraction.
- Sedation and Anesthesia: Depending on the complexity of your case and your comfort level, local anesthesia or sedation options are available.
- Surgical Removal: Our skilled dentists and team carefully remove the wisdom teeth, whether erupted or impacted.
- Aftercare Guidance: Post-surgery instructions are provided to support a safe and smooth recovery at home.
Our practice is equipped with state-of-the-art tools to ensure accuracy and minimize discomfort.
ÂReasons to Consider Early Removal
- Reduces the risk of infection and gum disease around impacted teeth
- Prevents crowding and misalignment of neighboring teeth
- Helps avoid cysts, damage to jawbone or adjacent teeth
- Promotes easier oral hygiene and long-term dental health
Removing wisdom teeth before they cause problems is a proactive step that protects your smile and comfort.
